I believe there’s an ongoing lawsuit in France that means that this can result in legal action against her detractors at home and potentially limit the ways in which those outside of the country, like Candace Owens, can earn money from French listeners, advertisers, etc.
It may even be the case that such French court decisions could have ramifications throughout the EU or even whether or not Candace Owens can show up in France without having a court date.

In legal terms from what I understand, it’s to verify that Candace knowingly and willingly made false statements, elevating the claims that she made from satire or humor or freedom of the press to slander.
Even though she’s saying these things about the French Prime Minister, the lawsuit is happening in America, so it has to meet America’s qualification standards in order to go through.
Proving that Frances First Lady is a woman by showing the pictures of her being pregnant, for instance, will verify that she is indeed a female born and therefore the statements that Candace made were intended to cause harm
